Yes we sold White to Arsenal for £50M, but we had cover and arguably better players. Cucarella is a bit special and we don’t have cover for him, so our valuation will be higher, maybe even as high as £60M. Tong Bloom will set the price and if City meet the price then Cucarella will go, otherwise he’ll stay, continue to improve and be sold for more next summer, maybe to Spurs. UTA.Thanks for the analysis. Brighton and bloom may not want to sell but you are forgetting the player in the decision making process. If Cucurella wants to move to city it will happen. Unfortunately for Brighton that is the pecking order. Before you have a rant at me it’s nothing personal. City have been in worse positions than yourselves and sold plenty of players we did not want too. Play hardball, the downside is that you will have a player not happy with how he is being treated and a sale will happen in 6/12 months anyway.
Brighton have no choice really. City won’t go over a realistic evaluation even if that means we walk away. Did you not sell white to Arsenal recently? You are no different to any other mid table team.
